Of course they say that - it's their excuse for undercutting American wages with foreign serfs.

You don't believe federal interference and taxation contributes to companies moving business out of the country? Or, that the big push towards putting as many people as possible on the "government teat" has caused a huge drop in willingness to work or work ethics in those that will work?

Like the story about the guy asking for a job and when the owner says he'll give him a try, asks what the job pays. The owner says, "I'll pay you what you're worth". The man responds, "I can't live on that".

The problem being that even businesses have been saying they can't fill a lot of positions

Not sure what that has to do with businesses saying they can't fill a lot of positions. (But for the record, I'm against federal interference and taxation.)

I'm sure the availability of the government teat has artificially raised the price of good labor - but that doesn't imply that businesses can't fill a lot of positions.
